NaNo will kill me soon

Nov 20, 2006 06:25

Still doing NaNoWriMo and still torn between NaNo and the thing commonly known as life. I've pushed everything (what I can, anyway) back to December and I just hope that things will keep to be the way they are.

NaNo-wise, I did pretty well this weekend. Well, yesterday. I'm at 20252 words right now and I was 13018 on Friday night. Pretty good if I do say so myself.

Story-wise, I'm floundering. I've got a plot, that's not the problem. I just don't have much organization to it and I really feel like I'm telling more than showing. On top of that is that I don't really know these characters and they don't feel real to me yet. That really shows in my writing and I even mixed up their names several times today. If my own characters are flat to me, what are other people going to think?

I'm already looking forward to editing this mess.
